Sham and Genuine.

Sham jewelry may be worn for Il
variety of reasons. II it is to give the
impression of wealth which the wearer
does not possess, then the practice is
wrong, but if the profession or career
of husband requires that his wife
should 60 much into society on q small
income she would be perfectly is,stifi-
able in wearing limitations to save
money. A smart and dressy appear
ance demands the use of many little
knick-knacks and etceteras the fashion
of which is constantly changing. For,
instance, at present gold iewelry is
obsolete for evening wear, and, as a
lady scornfully remarked to 4 poor
relative, ''You can wear nothing but
diamonds" Under these circum-
stances it cannot be wrong for lady
who cannot afford to buy diamonds, and
has not inherited any, to wear
moderate : amount of paste,
She should not, however, try
TO pass her ornaments off as diamonds.
nor speak of her 'sjewels'' with an air
of Importance which would lead people,
to infer that she had any of value.

Women With Bad Figures.

Mrs. Jenness Miller, who is trying to
reform woman's dress, is very handsome
and perfect specimen of the healthful-
ness OF the system she advocates. In
conversation with New York Mail and
Express reporter, tae other day.. she told
some curious facts about the physica
deformity of her sex, caused by the cor
set and other methods that the Nine
teenth century calls fashion. She
said:
Il was in Turkish bathroom not
long ago, and noticed the physical ap-
pearance of some forty or fifty fashion
able Women-young, middle-aged and
old. Out of that lumber did not see
perfect-shaped figure. Those who
were young doubtless inherited their
physical deficiencies, and were assisting
to further mar their unnatural proper
tons by wearing corsets. Men do not
dream that such malformation exists
| among the women, but picture them
from The Elusive idea conveyed by SEE
ing them dressed in the extreme of
fashion.
Some of these women had small waists
others had crampt, pinched feet, and
the majority were suffering from the
torturing PRACTICE of tight lacing. None
OF them moved around with free and
easy tread and buoyant elasticity. They
were slow and sluggish in their move
ments, and evidently averse to any
kind Of e1ertion beyond the mere neces-
slty OF walking. l was surprised, for I
thought that some women were SO strong
and robust that naturally they would
escape the curse of fashions DEGREES.
Reclining on couch after q bath [ heard
young lady next to me exclaim that
she would not marry Mr. So-and-So be-
cause he was not robust. Then in the
next sentence she said she suffered
from asthma, and was somewhat SUBJ
Ject to hysteria. | turned over and
gazed at the woman who didn't want
to marry man because he was not
apparently strong. She was very pale.
thin, and delicate looking, the very
woman man would not care to select
for wife, unless he wanted to start a
hospital at home

event before Queen Victoria arrived was
the march down the nave of the Queen

was embroidered various birds and

single bird or flower was omitted.
Across her buxom breast was broad
red sash. She was attended by the

extensively embroidered. The way
